Ski

After the first snow in Washington, I figured out if was the perfect time to go and ski. So we headed off to the Whitetail resort in Pennsylvania, less than two hours north of the capital. We arrive at a very compact place. The parking is situated just below the main entrance, where tickets for ski-lifts and equipment can be bought. Just on the opposite side are all the ski-lifts for the 23 trails.
I must admit that the slopes were not that big, with the largest difference in altitude being 285 meters. There was quite a huge crowd with long queues. Quite funny to hear fellow skiers speak Russian or Portuguese.
Still it was lots of fun to put skis on and to start again, first with the easy slopes. And then quite happy to do the "sidewinder". But I am definitely not ready to try the "Bold Decision"...
This place is very customer friendly. The cherry on the cake, we can ski under the lights.
Finally, a little video. You will obviously see that I slowed the speed of the video so you could still see me ski for a few seconds...
